    PPQ vs XD

    I have the M1- great trigger, and surprising that the sight distance is just as long as my CZ 85 Combat for a compact pistol. Just be careful if you get one - the M1 and M2 magazines are not cross compatible - not sure on holsters, but I also do not think they are cross compatible And I have...

    How to determine sight height?

    I have always measured from Center-of-Scope tube to Center-of-Chamber which seems easier than muzzle. A wooden dowel down the barrel so that the Center-of-Chamber can be estimated helps. This should be accurate enough for ballistic programs -- not sure what accuracy is needed but I get maybe...

    45acp Brass/Case Mouth Reforming

    I have a 60's vintage NM Colt 1911 Slide (on a unknowned receiver) that when I shoot sometimes flattens one side of the case mouth. I have been using a needle nose pliers to bend the case mouths back to semi round (if I try to the resizing die it sometimes really deforms/bends the brass) but...

    Top ten annoying gun things

    Wholeheartedly agree -- When I hit 45 to 50 my close up vision has gone south and accuracy with open sights is not what it use to be. Things that kill me -- People not being safe with their weapons -- People who fiddle with their guns while a cease fire has been called -- People who shoot at...

    copper remover

    I shoot mainly hornady and it does seem to show cooper quick. I use boretech eliminator - I have tried everything and it seems to work best - it has no smell so basement friendly - it works on carbon, might not be best at carbon but does work UK
